James for Model Number Kitchenaid gas oven Mod. # KGSA906PSS00 Water got into my gas oven. Now, the control panel asks me to enter the probe temperature or remove the probe. I've never used a probe or seen that message before. However, if I enter a temp and then select a cooking method (eg bake) as requested the spark ignitor fires and the lower burner ignites. Then is stops after 3 or 4 seconds. I can't repeat the firing if I re-enter a probe temp. and select bake, unless I kill power to the stove (eg flip the breaker switch); when power is restored I can repeat the process once, i.e, enter a probe temp and cause the bake burner to fire for a few seconds. There may still be some moisture in the insulation. what should I do?
Answer James, Based on the information provided it sounds like the probe jack may have shorted out or the control board is faulty. You can test the meat probe sensor and jack by inserting the probe into the jack 8186589 and doing a resistance check at the control board. The resistance should be between 1,300 and 103K ohms and at room temp approximately 59K ohms. If the jack and probe check ok then the control board WP9762810 is faulty and would need to be replaced.
